Description

Technical Field

[0002] Image forming devices such as laser printers, copiers, and multifunction machines, in line with current market demand, need to be equipped with WiFi modules to enable the products to have more diverse connection methods with external terminals. In the existing WiFi module fixing structure, most of them are fixed to the outer shell of the machine body by two screws after being limited by buckles or ribs, but this fixing method may cause the user to accidentally touch the WiFi module directly when opening the outer shell, which easily increases the risk of the user directly touching and causing static electricity to damage the WiFi module. On the other hand, in order to better establish wireless communication in the prior art, the WiFi module is often installed on the upper side or front side of the machine body, which is not conducive to disassembly, maintenance, etc. for relatively large products, and will be far away from the control panel of the machine (generally the control panel is set on the back side of the machine). The use of a longer harness will interfere with the information transmission and make the information transmission unstable. Therefore, a WiFi module fixing structure that is easy to disassemble and remove and anti-static is needed. Utility Model Content

[0049] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 1 , 2 The image forming device according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. The image forming device comprises a box body 1, a substrate fixing member 2 and a plate fixing member 3, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, for the convenience of description, the length direction of the box body 1 is the left-right direction, the width direction of the box body 1 is the front-back direction, and the height direction of the box body 1 is the up-down direction.

[0051] The box body 1 has a cavity 111 and a joint, the cavity 111 can accommodate the wireless communication substrate 4, the joint can be detachably connected to the frame sheet metal 5 so that the entire box body 1 can be installed on the frame sheet metal 5. In this embodiment, the box body 1 includes a cover plate 11 and a fixing plate 12, the cover plate 11 is roughly a three-dimensional open shell structure, the cavity 111 is arranged on the cover plate 11, the four sides of the cover plate 11 are surrounded by integrally connected side walls, and its bottom wall (lower side wall) is also an integrally designed closed structure to form a cavity 111 for accommodating and installing the wireless communication substrate 4. In order to make the anti-static effect of the cover plate 11 better, the cover plate 11 can be made of plastic material, or an insulating layer such as rubber, silicone and other materials can be covered on the outer surface of the cover plate 11.

[0052] Among them, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in order to better install the wireless communication substrate 4, a substrate positioning column 112, a support column 113 and a support rib 114 are provided in the cavity 111. The substrate positioning column 112 adopts a columnar structure protruding in the height direction, and its side extends outwardly to have a rib structure for abutment support. The substrate positioning column 112 and the support column 113 are arranged opposite to each other, and are respectively located at the rear and front sides of the cavity 111, and have the functions of limiting and supporting abutment; the support column 113 adopts a conventional columnar structure, and a substrate positioning hole 115 is also provided on the support column 113. The substrate positioning hole 115 is preferably a threaded hole structure, and the upper side surface of the support column 113 and the rib of the positioning column are connected. The structure has support surfaces of the same height so as to jointly support the wireless communication substrate 4. Similarly, the support rib 114 is arranged on the right side of the cavity 111, forming a triangular support relationship with the positioning column and the support column 113, and having the same support surface, so that when the wireless communication substrate 4 is installed in the cavity 111, it can be supported by the positioning column, the support column 113 and the support rib 114, so as to limit the wireless communication substrate 4 to a set height in the cavity 111. Therefore, there is a set distance between the wireless communication substrate 4 and the bottom wall of the cover plate 11, which is convenient for installing the wireless communication substrate 4 and avoiding interference of the substrate connector 43 on the wireless communication substrate 4. In addition, when installing, the substrate connector 43 faces the inside of the cavity 111 (the lower side of the wireless communication substrate 4) to reduce unnecessary contact interference.

[0053] It should be noted that the wireless communication substrate 4 is provided with a first mounting hole 41 and a second mounting hole 42, both of which are through-hole structures. The first mounting hole 41 corresponds to the substrate positioning hole 115, and the second mounting hole 42 corresponds to the substrate positioning column 112. The second mounting hole 42 can abut against the substrate positioning column 112 to prevent the wireless communication substrate 4 from moving along the length and width directions, thereby facilitating the alignment of the first mounting hole 41 and the substrate fixing hole 121.

[0054] The fixing plate 12 adopts a plate-like structure, and the fixing plate 12 is detachably connected to the upper side of the cover plate 11, and can cover part of the cavity 111. When in use, after the wireless communication substrate 4 is installed in the cavity 111, the fixing plate 12 simultaneously abuts against the wireless communication substrate 4 to fix the wireless communication substrate 4, wherein the fixing plate 12 is provided with a substrate fixing hole 121, which is a through-hole structure, and the substrate fixing hole 121 corresponds to the first mounting hole 41. When the fixing plate 12 is installed on the cover plate 11, the substrate fixing hole 121, the first mounting hole 41, and the substrate positioning hole 115 are aligned, and the substrate fixing member 2 is detachably connected to the substrate positioning hole 115, and the substrate fixing member 2 can pass through the first mounting hole 41 and the substrate fixing hole 121 and abut against the fixing plate 12. Preferably, the substrate fixing member 2 is a screw, which can be threadedly matched with the substrate positioning hole 115, and can fix the wireless communication substrate 4 and the fixing plate 12 through the first mounting hole 41 and the substrate fixing hole 121. The wireless communication substrate 4 is locked in the cavity 111 by the above structure.

[0055] Further, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the fixing plate 12 to realize the rapid centering of the substrate fixing hole 121, the fixing plate 12 is provided with a first positioning hole 122 and a second positioning hole 123, both of which are through-hole structures. The first positioning hole 122 and the second positioning hole 123 are respectively close to the left and right sides of the fixing plate 12, and the substrate fixing hole 121 is located between the first positioning hole 122 and the second positioning hole 123. The upper edge of the cover plate 11 is provided with a first positioning column 116 and a second positioning column 117, which adopt a raised cylindrical structure. The apertures of the first positioning hole 122 and the second positioning hole 123 are adapted to the diameters of the first positioning column 116 and the second positioning column 117. The first positioning column 116 and the second positioning column 117 are respectively abutted in the first positioning hole 122 and the second positioning hole 123 to limit the position of the fixing plate 12 on the cover plate 11, so that the installation position of the fixing plate 12 on the cover plate 11 can be ensured, so as to improve the centering degree of the substrate fixing hole 121, the first installation hole 41, and the substrate positioning hole 115, and facilitate the connection of the substrate fixing member 2. Of course, the structural positions of the positioning posts and positioning holes can be interchanged, and the positioning effect can also be achieved.

[0056] Further, such as Figures 5 to 7As shown, the fixing plate 12 is provided with a joint portion, and the box body 1 is installed by detachably connecting the joint portion with the frame sheet metal 5. In this embodiment, the joint portion includes a first joint portion 124 and a second joint portion 125. The first joint portion 124 and the second joint portion 125 are integrally arranged on the fixing plate 12. The first joint portion 124 and the second joint portion 125 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the fixing plate 12. The first joint portion 124 has a bending structure to facilitate abutting against the wireless communication substrate 4. The first positioning hole 122 can be arranged on the first joint portion 124, and the second joint portion 125 adopts a claw structure. After the fixing plate 12 is installed on the cover plate 11, the first joint portion 124 and the second joint portion 125 are both exposed on the outside of the cover plate 11, wherein the first joint portion 124 has a protrusion 1241, and the second joint portion 125 can undergo elastic deformation, and, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the frame sheet metal 5 is provided with a first matching portion 51 and a second matching portion 52, and the first matching portion 51 and the second matching portion 52 are both notch structures on the frame sheet metal 5. In this embodiment, in order to adapt to the structure of the fixing plate 12, the first matching portion 51 and the second matching portion 52 are connected, and the second engaging portion 125 can elastically abut against the second matching portion 52. Further, the first engaging portion 124 is provided with a locking hole 1242, and the locking hole 1242 is preferably a threaded hole, and the locking hole 1242 passes through the protruding portion 1241. When in use, the first engaging portion 124 is first obliquely inserted into the frame sheet metal 5, and the wireless communication module 10c is pushed upward, and then the communication module is rotated around the first matching portion 51 to press one end of the second engaging portion 125 into the frame sheet metal 5, and then the communication module is moved downward to make the second engaging portion 125 engage with the second matching portion 52. At this time, the locking hole 1242 is exposed, and the plate fixing member 3 passes through the locking hole 1242 and locks the first engaging portion 124 on the first matching portion 51, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the frame sheet metal 5 is clamped by the first joint portion 124 and the plate fixing member 3, and the plate fixing member 3 is preferably a screw. The above structure realizes the detachable connection between the fixing plate 12 and the frame sheet metal 5.

[0057] In other embodiments, the second joint portion 125 may also be disposed in the middle of the fixing plate 12, or the first joint portion 124 and the second joint portion 125 may be disposed in the front and rear directions of the fixing plate 12, respectively. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in the figure, you only need to adjust the position of the matching part (the size of the hole) on the frame sheet metal 5 accordingly, which can also meet the requirements of detachability and can be selected according to the actual application situation.

[0058] In this embodiment, the control board 6 of the image forming device is located on the rear side of the body, and the wireless communication module 10c of the present application is on the same side as the control board 6, that is, closer to the control board 6. The wiring harness led out from the control board 6 to the wireless communication module 10c is shorter. It can be seen that the first matching portion 51 and the second matching portion 52 are arranged on the rear side of the frame sheet metal 5 closer to the body. After the fixing plate 12 is installed on the first matching portion 51 and the second matching portion 52, the distance between the wireless communication substrate 4 and the control board 6 is closer.

[0059] In other embodiments, the joint portion is arranged on the outside of the cover plate 11. For example, the joint portion and the cover plate 11 are designed as one body. The fixing plate 12 is detachably connected to the cover plate 11. For example, the fixing plate 12 is snap-fitted to the cover plate 11. A snap-fitting groove and a protrusion may be provided. After the fixing plate 12 is installed on the cover plate 11, it also plays a role of abutting and fixing the side of the wireless communication substrate 4 facing away from the cover plate 11 (the upper side of the wireless communication substrate 4). Finally, it is detachably connected to the frame sheet metal 5 through the joint portion, which also achieves the effect of convenient installation.

[0060] In other embodiments, the box body 1 is configured as a part of the wireless communication module 10c. When in use, the wireless communication module 10c can be first installed on the frame sheet metal, and then the box body 1 is installed to cover the wireless communication substrate 4 of the wireless communication module 10c, so as to realize another implementation method in which the box body 1 is independently configured.

[0061] In other embodiments, the image forming device of the present application also includes a connecting member and a connected member arranged on the cover plate 11. The connected member can be a hole structure or a clamped structure on the cover plate 11. The connecting member can be a screw, a bolt or a clamping member. The position of the connected member can be set on the side wall inside or outside the cover plate 11, or it can be the outer surface of the cover plate 11. The connecting member and the connected member can be detachably connected to each other. When the wireless communication substrate 4 is accommodated in the cavity 111, the connecting member is connected to the connected member, so that the fixing plate 12 can be locked on the cover plate 11. At the same time, it is necessary to meet the requirement that the cover plate 11 can be detachably connected and abut against the side of the wireless communication substrate 4 facing away from the cover plate 11 (the upper side of the wireless communication substrate 4).

[0062] When using, Figure 8 , 9As shown, the usage of the wireless communication module 10c is divided into an assembly process and a body installation process. During the assembly process, the wireless communication substrate 4 is first installed in the cavity 111, with the side having the substrate connector 43 facing downward, the wireless communication substrate 4 abuts against the ribs, support columns 113 and support ribs 114 of the substrate positioning column 112, the second mounting hole 42 abuts against the substrate positioning column 112 and is pressed in to position the wireless communication substrate 4, and the first mounting hole 41 is aligned with the substrate positioning hole 115, and then the fixing plate 12 is installed on the cover plate 11, specifically, the fixing plate 12 is abutted and pressed into the first positioning hole 122 and the second positioning hole 123 through the first positioning column 116 and the second positioning column 117, and the fixing plate 12 abuts and presses the side (upper side) of the wireless communication substrate 4 facing away from the cover plate 11, at this time, the substrate fixing hole 121, the first mounting hole 41 and the substrate positioning hole 115 are aligned, and then the substrate fixing member 2 is used to connect with the substrate positioning hole 115, and the fixing plate 12 is locked at the same time to complete the assembly. During the installation of the machine body, the connecting line 7 of the wireless communication module 10c is first inserted into the first matching part 51 and the second matching part 52 on the frame sheet metal 5 to form a groove, and the first joint part 124 is obliquely inserted into the first matching part 51. After moving one end distance upward, the second joint part 125 is pressed into the second matching part 52. At this time, after the first joint part 124 is clamped with the first matching part 51, the locking hole 1242 of the first joint part 124 is exposed, and then the board fixing part 3 is screwed into the locking hole 1242 to complete the installation of the wireless communication module 10c on the frame sheet metal 5. Finally, the connecting line 7 of the wireless communication module 10c is connected to the control connector 61 on the control board 6 to complete the installation.
